„Liverpool“ team on Thursday lost after an 11-meter penalty shootout to London's „Arsenal“ and withdrew from the English League Cup tournament. In this match, Jurgen Klopp did not include Xherdan Shaqiri, who usually provides rest for key players in such games, in the team lineup. The „Liverpool“ coach himself said after the match that some players did not appear in the game due to ongoing negotiations with other clubs. “Now is the time when many things are happening beyond the field, so some players were not in these matches,“ said J. Klopp. As later reported by the portal „Goal“, it is very likely that the 28-year-old Swiss will leave „Liverpool“ before the end of the transfer window, and two unnamed clubs are interested in his services. X. Shaqiri has been defending the honor of „Liverpool“ since 2018 and during this time has played 42 matches, scoring 8 goals.
